Trends in Urban School Design by Ima Dezina Schooldesigner, LLC April 2009 Trends in Urban School Design By Ima Dezina “For schools to achieve effective facilities, stakeholders have to assess their challenges, set a plan to resolve those challenges, and build a program,” says Joel K. Sims, AIA, president of Sims Architects, Lancaster, Pa. “As numerous schools work through this process, trends start to be noted from school to school.” Indeed, trends in school design come and go, just as they do in the fashion industry. Here’s a Grace Church School | New York, NY fresh look at trends in urban school design. Quality Reigns “It has been a gradual build up but, unquestionably, it is really important to have high-quality design,” says Jacob Alspector, RA, principal of New York-based Alspector Architecture. “It has become the norm.” Indeed, he points out a time in the past when the reigning attitude was simply, “Let’s get it done.” Not any more. Peter Winebrenner, AIA, LEED AP, principal and vice president of Baltimore-based Hord Coplan Macht, agrees, pointing out a specific factor that has to be addressed on the road to high- quality design: the tough decision between rehabilitating and building new. “There is pressure in working toward LEED Grace Church School | New York, NY The Schooldesigner is a monthly e-newsletter published by Schooldesigner.com. [email protected] • Phone: 717.735.1985 • © Schooldesigner, LLC certification to reuse,” he says, “so we are seeing and will continue to see stronger attempts to rehabilitate existing schools.” One explanation for the trend toward high-quality design is because the urban environment is so competitive. “At least in Manhattan, the city has become a more desirable place for families, so there has been growth in the school-age population,” says Leo J. Blackman, AIA, of New York-based Leo J Blackman Architects. Because the public schools are slower than private schools to offer a high-quality education, parents are looking to private schools. The challenge is that there simply isn’t new building space available to keep up with the competition for students, so administrators look high and low for available space. Take Grace Church School Gymnasium in New York, for example. It was built below ground, extends under the sidewalk and is just a few feet from the main subway line. ”Urban schools are hybridized around an urban fabric,” says Alspector, “and you find space where you wouldn’t imagine Village Community School | New York, NY Neighborhood context is important you had it.” to urban schools “Now, the quality of design, the quality of the space and the thought behind it is critical from the teachers, administrators, students, and parents,” says Alspector. “Everyone realizes its value, and it’ll be more and more important as we move forward.” Sustainability Is In Closely related to high-quality design is sustainability, and urban schools have jumped on that bandwagon. “In New York, this is a real change from five years ago,” says Samuel G. White, FAIA LEED AP, partner with Platt Byard Dovell White Architects, New York. “New York was really behind, but has now caught up with the rest of the world, at least as far as expectations go.” “Sustainability involves all the aspects of design that have become more and more the norm,” says Alspector, “including Village Community School | New York, NY A custom built reception desk greets materials, daylighting, energy conservation and an overall students and visitors building flexibility so that facilities should have what is termed by some as ‘long life and loose fit.’ It all works together to allow a building to be used for many generations without tearing it down, the idea being to design and build for keeps. This hasn’t been as prevalent in this country as it has elsewhere in the world.” One explanation for the sustainability trend is special-needs students. “A lot of special-needs children are susceptible to indoor air quality challenges,” says Ray H. Dovell, AIA, partner with Platt Byard Dovell White Architects, New York. “LEED addresses indoor air quality, for instance in requiring low off-gassing materials.” Another explanation is cost. Renovating an existing facility is less expensive and requires fewer materials. “It reduces Village Community School | New York, NY the amount of physical work, saves time, and maximizes The spacious auditorium serves the students resources,” says Alspector. “Communities also find it more and the community The Schooldesigner is a monthly e-newsletter published by Schooldesigner.com. [email protected] • Phone: 717.735.1985 • © Schooldesigner, LLC palatable to not have to get used to a new structure. People don’t argue with giving life to an existing facility, especially Product Sponsor if it’s a school.” Laveratories & Sinks “There’s a saying that the greenest building is the one that’s already there,” concurs Blackman. “We took that seriously when working with the constituents of Village Community School in New York.” In this project, the existing facility was much loved, but additional space was needed. The solution Bradley handwashing fixtures are designed was to simply add to the existing facility, via a trapezoidal for long-lasting, corner lot. The new facility maximizes every inch of space. vandal-resistant, Classrooms were placed where they would receive maximum low-maintenance and daylight. An auditorium is half below grade, and its roof is water-conserving used as a play yard for younger students. performance. Bradley provides anything Another example of an urban school boasting sustainability from Washfountains is Poly Prep Lower School, which was actually the first to Express Lavatory school in New York to achieve LEED certification when it was Systems to Classroom completed in 2007. The project included an 18,000-sq.-ft. sinks for schools. addition to a 22,000-sq.-ft., 1880s-era mansion. The new building accentuates the Victorian culture of the old building in a contemporary vocabulary. “A tremendous amount of attention went to creating classrooms with an abundance of daylight and using natural materials,” says White. Also in New York, administrators at the Reece School were looking for an ordered, comprehensive environment for their new building, with as much daylight and quality interiors as they could afford. Because the school serves special-needs students, the overall goal was to serve the students. “We focused on low off-gassing, natural materials within the environment,” says Dovell. “The school has experienced fewer sick days from both staff and students – it’s a healthier environment with extremely tangible results.” Grace Church School Gymnasium also boasts sustainable aspects. The underground gymnasium’s roof is green. The space itself is energy efficient simply because it is below ground. Recycled rubber flooring was used for the gym and The Reece School | New York, NY circulation floors. Above ground, a garden was enhanced The facade stands out in the streetscape and street trees were added. “While we didn’t go for LEED certification because the project moved so quickly,” says Alspector, “we were conscious of it in our decision making.” Anchoring the Community A third urban school trend is serving as community anchors. “Urban schools need to fit into their neighborhoods,” says Blackman. “They need to give something back to get past the ‘not in my backyard’ attitude, which is very big in New York. Schools need to be carefully designed to suit the functional needs of the community within the school but also the community outside the school.” Fitting in is becoming more important as people are moving back to urban areas. Giving back, notes Winebrenner, allows for strong communities. And giving back is just as important in poor urban areas, where a school becomes the heart of a community – a symbol for the community to rally around. The Reece School | New York, NY Main entry from the sidewalk The Schooldesigner is a monthly e-newsletter published by Schooldesigner.com. [email protected] • Phone: 717.735.1985 • © Schooldesigner, LLC Urban schools are giving back generously, with their gymnasiums, cafeterias and computer labs being used in non-school hours. “In an urban environment, that’s appropriate,” says Winebrenner. “It helps keep schools vibrant, and there’s an added level of safety in not emptying the building at the end of the school day.” Urban schools are also giving back in that they’re being designed in partnership with other organizations, such as libraries, health centers and public centers. The facilities are mostly separate, but may share common areas, such as a cafeteria or gymnasium. This trend allows tight urban space and ever-dwindling public dollars to be maximized. Finally, urban schools are moving toward a K-8 model. Allowing students to be in the same building for nine years aids continuity – it helps parents identify with a school and solidifies a community. It allows older students to mentor younger students. “We’re seeing more of them in urban environments, particularly,” Winebrenner observes. David Douglas High School | Portland, OR Walker Jones Pre-K-8 School in Washington, D.C., is an excellent example of a school anchoring its community. The school is replacing two existing schools as part of a revitalization initiative. “The motivation is, ‘Let’s get this community back on its feet, and let this school be the symbol of the community’s renovation,’” says Winebrenner. More specifically, the facility includes a branch of the public library. It also includes a community recreation center, in which there’s a shared gymnasium but separate locker rooms and offices. Similarly, the Grace Church School Gymnasium serves as a community anchor in that the space is available for community athletic groups and a nearby college, which does not have an athletic facility but does have athletic teams.

While over 3,500 students of color entered school with the guidance of Early Steps, it is humbling to know that the impact has been so much greater. We hear time and © 2012 Victoria Jackson Photography again how families, schools and lives have been trans- formed as a result of the doors of opportunity that were opened with the help of Early Steps. Doors where academic excellence is the norm and children learn and play with others whose life’s experiences are not the same as theirs, benefitting all children. We are proud of our 30-year partnership with now over 50 New York City independent schools who nurture, educate and challenge our children to be the best that they can be. They couldn’t be in better hands! Tonight we honor four Early Steps alumni. These accomplished young adults all benefited from the wisdom of their parents who knew the importance of providing their children with the best possible education beginning in Kindergarten.

  • Rising Above the Rancor: a Letter to Students at an Historic Moment
    Rising Above the Rancor: A Letter to Students at an Historic Moment Dear Students, Over the last eight months, your world has utterly changed. You are living through a moment in history that may well prove pivotal to the future of our world, our nation, and our city. You are bearing witness to an unprecedented set of interlocking and cascading crises, and many of you are telling us that you have lost trust in some of our leaders–locally, nationally, and globally. There is no getting around it: you are coming of age in an extraordinarily turbulent moment in history. Yet as educators, we are in the business of developing deeply optimistic futures. Your futures. To be sure, there is difficult work ahead. But nothing truly worthwhil e comes easily. As the Nobel Peace Prize winning South African theologian Desmond Tutu said: “ Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all the darkness." Practicing hope allows us to harness the energy of hardships and tragedies and transform them into generative possibilities for the future. Our world needs you to care deeply, engage wholeheartedly, and commit to action fueled with hope in order to build a better future. We want to do all we can to make this happen for you—not after you graduate, but right now. In a year marked by intense political rancor, we write to you to remind you of a simple truism: hope in the face of adversity spurs collective action. Democracy only works when we all commit ourselves to it. Think about how high those stakes are.

  • GRACE CHURCH SCHOOL New York, New York HEAD of SCHOOL Start Date: July 2022 Gcschool.Org
    GRACE CHURCH SCHOOL New York, New York HEAD OF SCHOOL Start Date: July 2022 gcschool.org Mission Statement Grace Church School aims to establish in its students firmly rooted confidence in themselves and their abilities. Because we believe that school experience sets the foundation for lifelong intellectual and social growth, we strive to develop in each student mental keenness, physical confidence, pleasure in learning, and the skills basic to understanding one’s self and the world. Our structured curriculum, enriched with broad opportunities for creative expression, assumes as fundamental the mastery of a specific range of academic skills, especially the ability to express one’s own ideas and to appraise those of others. Yet the educational goals of the school are broader than intellectual and social development. We nurture in our students a steady, affectionate trust in themselves and their world, made resilient by the interaction of different ethnic, religious, and socio-economic influences. We strive to help each student develop an active ethical consciousness, supported by close acquaintance with Judeo- Christian beliefs and enhanced by the beauty and faith inherent in Grace Church. We encourage a mutually supportive relationship between family and school. We aim to have students graduate from Grace Church School with a strong sense of self, able to think clearly, function well academically, and embrace coming challenges with confidence. OVERVIEW For over a century, Grace Church School has been enriching its students’ lives by weaving tenets of the Episcopal school tradition—social justice, community engagement, ethics, and personal integrity—into a rigorous, thoughtfully evolved curriculum. Families who join Grace do so because the school offers an outstanding academic experience within an inclusive, diverse, and accepting community.

    2019 ANNUAL REPORT oliverscholars.org 1 WELCOME Dear Friends of Oliver Scholars, 2019 was a year of significant changes and transformation for Oliver Scholars. We welcomed a new CEO, along with new members of our senior leadership team; we embarked on a strategic planning process to ensure the long-term sustainability of our institution; we expanded our outreach to include the CEO Salon Series; we launched new partnerships to help our college scholars and recent college graduates access expanded career opportunities; our work together was featured on CBS This Morning and CNN Heroes; and we began the process of reimagining and deepening our work with scholars, partner schools, parents, and alumni. Luckily, we did not have to start from scratch. The truth is that Oliver Scholars has a long track record of engaging with scholars and other stakeholders in ways that reflect the kind of care, intention, and thought you’d expect from any world-class youth-serving organization. Our current scholars and accomplished and engaged alumni often bear witness to the transformative impact this organization has had on their lives. Time and time again, as we spoke with members of this amazing community, there was one unifying word that showed up in every conversation: FAMILY. As an organization that is not only committed to opening new Dr. Danielle R. Moss educational pathways for our young people, but one that also has a Chief Executive Officer long-standing commitment to nurturing future generations of Black and Latinx leaders, Oliver Scholars often talk about the sense of family and deep connection that have become hallmarks of this organization over the last 35 years.
